In a letter sent to all U.S. Senators, the Airline Pilots Association’s (ALPA) president, Tim Canoll, claims he represents 52,000 pilots and 31 airlines in his belief that changes to the 3rd class medical requirements are dangerous. His letter describes his concerns, and he also displays his lack of knowledge about the 3rd class medical and the regulations as they apply to pilots not required to have medicals.
